Chapter 334: Fierce Battle

In order to annihilate the main force of the Pingnan army, Liu Zeqing mobilized almost all his troops, a full 15,000 troops ambushed in the nearby streets and alleys, dozens of artillery pieces were mobilized, the muzzles of the guns were aimed at the city gate street, and more than 1,000 archers and musketeers were all on the roof, counting on the condescending to give a fatal blow to the Pingnan army entering the city.

Who would have thought that Zhang's guerrilla attack was launched in advance, and there were only more than 1,000 Pingnan troops who entered the city, and they stopped after entering the city gate, and did not enter the encirclement at all, which made his arrangement suddenly fall short.

There was no way, Liu Zeqing could only launch in advance to annihilate the Pingnan army that entered the city, and then seal the city gate and block the enemy army outside the city.

Under his orders, thousands of soldiers came out of their hiding places, lined up in the streets, and pressed in the direction of the city gate from three sides.

More than 1,000 archers lined up in front of the line, shooting wave after wave of arrows towards the city gates.

Li Chengdong's attack on the city wall was frustrated, the rolling wood and stones at the head of the city continued to roll down the horse road, and it was impossible to attack at all, and thousands of soldiers appeared in the streets in the distance, and Chen Ping, the commander of the teaching battalion, knew that the big thing was not good, and what defenders surrendered, it was clear that they had entered the enemy's trap.

What to do? Chen Ping thought nervously, Hou Ye often said that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and the army outside the city is constantly coming in, if they withdraw at this time, it will inevitably cause chaos, and it will really be defeated. Now that you have entered the city, you will fight with them to see who is strong and who is weak!

Thinking of this, the resolute look on Chen Ping's face, didn't you set a trap, then let Lao Tzu see how hard your teeth are, and get rid of your dog teeth!

"The whole army defends on the spot and guards the way into the city for the Hou Ye! Order Li Chengdong to attack the city wall at any cost and firmly control the city gate in our hands! ”

With Chen Ping's order, except for Li Chengdong and Guo Hu, who led the 200 people who attacked the city wall, the remaining 800 people immediately formed a phalanx facing the city, and one shield after another was erected to block the flying arrows, and the firecrackers and crossbowmen in the queue began to shoot, giving color to the attacking enemy.

However, after all, the number of teaching battalions was far inferior to the enemy, and the total number of musketeers and crossbow archers in the army was less than two hundred, and under the cover of Liu Zeqing's bow and arrows, the phalanx was crumbling like duckweed in the rain, and from time to time there were soldiers screaming and falling to the ground with arrows.

"The rear army will enter the city for reinforcements immediately, everyone gritted their teeth and held on!" Chen Ping roared loudly, swinging his long knife to block the flying arrows.

......

Li Chengdong looked back at Liu Zeqing's army approaching in the distance, and then turned his head to look at the steep city wall, the defenders were condescending, and they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties when attacking the upper city.

"What should I do?" Guo Hu beside him asked in a low voice, Li Chengdong knew what he meant. The situation is already very dangerous, and their side has completely fallen into the trap of the defenders, and if they continue to fight, they may be completely annihilated.

Most of the 200 people around him are the original old subordinates, only the grassroots officers such as the chief of the general banner and the small banner are soldiers of the Pingnan Army, if they give the order themselves, they may be able to kill these officers easily, and then take these brothers to defect to King Fu with a counterattack, wouldn't it be better than sending them to death!

Guo Hu beside him looked at him with hope, and many of the old brothers around him also showed fierce light, Li Chengdong's heart was pounding, and the order was almost rushing out. But at this moment, Chen Yue's cold figure suddenly came into his mind, splashing down like a basin of cold water, washing away his just rising thoughts.

Maybe he can kill Chen Ping and destroy the teaching camp that entered the city, but this army is only a partial division of the Pingnan Army, and even if it is completely damaged, it will not hurt the muscles and bones. And he has learned Chen Yue's methods, Li Liangdong does not think that Liu Zeqing will be Chen Yue's opponent.

In this case, his defection is just a few more days to live, and there will be no way to survive in the future! On the contrary, if they are in the same boat now, as long as they can survive, they will inevitably gain Chen Yue's trust, and the Pingnan Army will definitely expand greatly in the future, and it will be just around the corner for him to return to his original position.

Almost instantly, Li Chengdong judged the gains and losses, and his face showed a look of perseverance.

"Brothers, kill the head of the city and destroy the defenders of the city!" Li Chengdong lifted a shield and rushed towards the horse road again.

"Ahh Guo Hu was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Li Chengdong was confused at this moment, but now he had to fight, so he also followed behind Li Chengdong.

......

On the city wall, the Jinyi guard led by Chen Jianghe scattered the archers at the head of the city, but ushered in Zhang Jin and Zhang's guerrilla soldiers, and the two sides fought together.

There are about 100 Jinyi guards, most of them are veterans of the Pingnan Army, and their combat power is strong, but a small half of them are Huai'an Mansion officers, and these people can't fight anymore. Zhang Jin brought more than 100 Ding and hundreds of ordinary guards of Zhang's guerrillas, and the number was several times that of Jinyi Guard. However, this is on the city wall, only a zhang wide distance, and only a queue of more than ten people can be placed horizontally, although the number of guards is large, there are only more than 20 people on both sides.

Xu Qingtian led the veterans who were proficient in gunsmithing to form a gun formation, and rows of spears were like a forest, stabbing at the defenders, and from time to time someone screamed and fell to the ground. But Zhang Jin led all of Zhang's guerrilla families, and they were also well-trained, and the number of people was several times higher, so they could still hold on. The two sides fought on the city wall, but they also fought equally.

Chen Jianghe was squeezed into the queue at this time, how could Liu Neng let him rush to the front line again, if there was any loss, he would not be able to explain to Chen Yue.

Standing behind the queue, Chen Jianghe's mind calmed down, looking at the fierce battle under the city, Chen Ping's teaching camp was in danger, and although the army was still entering through the city gate one after another, it was impossible to enter the city quickly through the narrow city gate through the drawbridge. It was necessary to quickly defeat the defenders on the city wall, and then receive the army under the city to come up and provide support from the top of the city, so that Chen Ping and them could stabilize the front.

Chen Jianghe looked around and picked up a curved bow, which was a yellow birch recurve bow, Chen Jianghe pulled the bowstring, about eight buckets of strength, barely able to use, so he picked up another pot of feather arrows and hung them on his waist.

Looking up, the head of the person was staggering, but his vision was blocked by his own men. He ordered Liu Neng and others to work together, carried the corpses of the dead archers over, piled them up into a high platform, and then stood up, drew his bow and arrows, and aimed at the enemy officer who was commanding hoarsely.

Zhang Jin was wielding a knife to command his subordinates to attack, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly found that a person in the rear of the enemy army stood tall, looking at the bow and arrow aimed at him, Zhang Jin shivered, and when he was about to dodge, the feather arrow had broken through the air, and there were soldiers everywhere around him, but where to dodge.

With a "poof", the feather arrow entered from the neck and came out from the back of the neck, and Zhang Jin fell on his back without saying a word.
